Youssou N'Dour Mame Bamba lyrics

Do you hear me Father Bamba?
Did they hear you Father Bamba?
Do you hear me Father Bamba?
Did they hear you Father Bamba?

We didn't know who you'd become
Until the word was spread
But now the story of your people
Can be shouted out loud

Your faith, your sorrow in your journey
A tale between God and the man
Your prayers, our prayers
Oh no, they will not be ignored

Do you hear me Father Bamba?
Did they hear you Father Bamba?
Do you hear me Father Bamba?
Did they hear you Father Bamba?

The man in me changes
Every time I read your khassayids
My strong faith in you
Makes me survive in this crazy world

Now I can go anywhere
Because I know you'll be there

We know your pain will always
Make us stronger Mame Bamba

Every day, every night, every moment
They are singing and they are crying
You may be gone but your spirit will remain
And it will stay until the end of time

Your faith and your sorrow in your journey
A tale between God and the man
Your prayers, our prayers
Oh no, they will not be ignored

Every day, every night, every moment
They are singing and they are crying
Every day, every night, every moment
They are singing and they are crying
Every day, every night, every moment
They are singing and they are crying

Your faith, your sorrow in your journey
A tale between God and the man
Your prayers, our prayers
Oh no, oh no, they will not be ignored
